What Parents Need to Know
About Old School
Parents need to know that this movie has a great deal of very mature and sometimes offensive material. There are homophobic references, a stereotyped Jewish character (wearing a "chai" necklace) shows up for group sex, characters drink to excess, and have casual sex. There are references to group sex and to other activities like wrestling with topless girls covered in KY jelly. There is a "fun" blow-up doll. A group of women hire a man to teach them how to give oral sex and we see them practicing on vegetables. The fraternity is welcoming to men of all races and ages and -- aside from some hazing of the pledges -- the men are all very supportive of each other. One character who seems most bent on abandoning all rules turns down sex with a young woman because he will not cheat on his wife.

I love this movie
This movie is very very funny and a must see for comedy fans. Though it contains sexual content(including topless woman,a mans butt,breif porn,and sex dolls), and language(including sexual references)it is all really there for laughs. There is no scene of sex that doesn't make you laugh, or scenes of strong language that don't make you laugh. This movie is pretty inappropriate at times, but is all just good old fun and I couldn't stop laughing the entire time. Another thing is that If your not old enough to get some of the jokes than there is no harm in you seeing this. If you understand the jokes and really want to see this than you should be at least 12(depending on your parents rules) but probably more like 14. Awesome movie and one of my favorites.

A funny college movie
This movie was really funny but the content was definately about college parties so there was a lot of drinking, smoking and sex related material. A funny movie for people of an appropriate age.
